Rubers Law is a pro- GIS minent hill in the Scottish Borders with an extensive archaeological history, and the discovery of approximately Viewshed 30 Roman building stones on the summit in the early 20th century led to the conclusion that it had been the site Roman Britain of a Roman signal station, despite a lack of concrete evidence for a Roman occupation. Visibility and inter- Scottish archaeology visibility from the Roman towers was analysed using four types of viewshed analysis: regular, cumulative, fuzzy, Signalling Rubers Law and probable. The results were analysed to determine what would be visible from Rubers Law from a tower between 7 m and 10 m high. The various viewshed methods were also compared; it was determined that regular and cumulative viewsheds over predict visibility, while fuzzy and probable methods are more robust. Based on this analysis, a tower on Rubers Law could have been a major relay station, passing messages from Brownhart Law and Craik Cross Hill to Eildon Hill North and Newstead Roman Fort. 1. Introduction how the site may have connected with the Roman communication and infrastructure network in the region. This investigation will focus on the Rubers Law is a prominent hill in the Scottish Borders.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.
